CFM-WHEY
Cross-Flow Microfiltration Whey Protein Isolate (CFM)

Scientific Description
Whey protein isolate is the cleanest form of whey protein. Isolation of the whey, using cross-flow microfiltration is the next processing step after concentration. It has a higher protein per serving ratio than whey concentrate . Whey isolates yield over 90 grams of protein per 100 grams of whey. It is virtually fat and lactose free. Whey isolate yields a higher amount of BCAA, half of which come from the essential amino acids. Extremely digestible with a good taste.
CROSS-FLOW MICROFILTRATION....THE PROCESS DESCRIBED IN LAYMAN'S TERMS
Whey protein isolate can be manufactured using different methods. The Protein Factory carries two different whey isolate proteins. Thus we feel the need to inform our customers of each different method.
Cross-Flow Microfiltration is a natural high tech manufacturing process that uses ceramic filters to remove the fat, lactose, and other unwanted materials, hence isolating the protein. The protein is NOT subjected to chemicals, therefore protein is left unharmed and in its original state. This leads to added benefits over ion-exchange whey isolate, here are a few.

1. Cross-flow microfiltration possess more calcium and less sodium than ion-exchange. Thus, women and athletes on performance enhancement drugs might want to consider cross-flow microfiltration as their choice for obvious reasons.

2. Cross-Flow Microfiltration Protein contains different proteins that add to its appeal which ion-exchange does not posses.
These proteins are important in the immune system and maintaining biological activity of some proteins. Thus athletes with a risk of over training or intense training bodybuilders would benefit from CFM.

Alpha-Lactabumin helps in the process of digesting minerals and enhancing the immune system.
Glycomacropeptides enhance the immune system by viruses binding to the whey protein instead of the intestinal tract, thus less the chance of becoming infected.

3. CFM whey isolate has the highest level of undenatured protein available (.99%)

WARNING! Some supplement companies try to use the words cross-flow microfiltration in their list of ingredients when actually they're using none at all. Cross-flow microfiltration whey isolate is patented by avonmore/waterford. The label must posses the trademarked symbol. Remember that cross-flow microfiltration protein is very fluffy, unlike a ultrafiltration protein and/or microfiltrated whey isolate, which is sand-like.

Bodybuilding and Athletic Supplementation Description

The ideal source of whey protein for weight training athletes. Users reported no experience with digestive problems such as gas, bloating, and diaherra, as commonly associated with whey concentrate. Reported higher lean muscle gains with whey isolate over concentrate due to it's higher P.E.R. value. Which means, more weight is gained from every gram of whey isolate taken. Although twice as expensive as whey concentrate, the benefits out weigh the price. If one wants protein and not fat and carbs, then choose whey isolate. Mostly consumed by recreational bodybuilders and amateur athletes. Great for bodybuilders who are lactose intolerant.
WARNING
Many companies claim to use whey isolate but do not. Remember, isolated whey protein costs twice as much to manufacture therefore their profit margin would be drastically reduced, that is why there are so many whey concentrates on the market and whey complexes (combinations of WPC & WPI). Look at the nutritional facts, if the label reads 2 or more carbs it usually is a concentrate or contains it.
Once again beware of proprietary information

Typical Serving Size 60cc or 25 grams
